Kieran Evans wins the BAFTA award for Outstanding Debut by a British Director!

At an amazing and star-studded BAFTA ceremony in London last night, Kieran Evans, the director of the Verve Pictures distributed Kelly+Victor, won the award for Outstanding Debut by a British Director. Presented with this award by Steve Coogan, Kieran was obviously surprised but delighted with his award.

"I was definitely not expecting this,” said Kieran. He thanked producer Janine Marmot for sticking by him for eight years, as well as Warp’s Peter Carlton and Robin Gutch, plus Colin Burch at Verve Pictures. He also thanked the city of Liverpool for inspiring the film. He thanked his mum for introducing him to Hitchcock films and his dad for driving him to art college.

Kieran beat off competition from Scott Graham for fellow Verve film Shell, as well as Colin Carberry and Glenn Patterson (Good Vibrations), Kelly Marcel (Saving Mr Banks), and Paul Wright and Polly Stokes (For Those in Peril).

Kelly+Victor is now available on DVD and Blu Ray, as well as iTunes, Blinkbox and Virgin Movies.
